Revision as of 08:36, 6 July 2010
Zammy (short for Zamstrom) is the nickname used by yo-yoer Dan Ickler. He is a ex sponsored player by MadHouse yo-yos and was a member of their team The MadHouse Syndicate. Zammy main style of yo-yoing is Moebius (1A yo-yoing but opening up the slipknot for new mounts). He also has a moebius tattoo on his left arm.
In 2007, Zammy decided to help children start yo-yoing by donating about 50 projams and other various cheap retail yo-yos to Christmas donations. This idea came to be known as the "YoYodrive". Each year Zammy tries to collect yo-yos to give to families so that parents may give their child a gift.
In 2008, Zammy set about develop his own signature yo-yo. To have this completed, he heavily modified a YoYoJam ProJam to his liking. This yo-yo was known as The Black death, and was made with the help of all sorts of people from the yo-yo community. Here is the story.
